Members' comments
passionflower - This needs to get up to the top as is a fabulous tasting recipe and soooo easy!! We had it tonight with some spinach and feta muffins.

Amanda - Add some chopped feta, some seeds and some nuts and you have a whole meal!

MJ - This was just delicious! I didn't have capsicum and I don't think it needed it. Definitely needs the parsley, that was a lovely addition. I made the full amount which was half a cabbage and half a green apple. used cornichons. I'd suggest chopping them finely first as they didn't chop terribly well.

The method started with my favourite words - "Place all ingredients in TM bowl & chop"   ;D ;D ;D so already it's a winner.
Sounds very nice JD. Thanks for sharing

Thanks again JD - think the dill cucumber might have been the Polish touch ?

Thanks for bumping this recipe, Monica.  With summer coming on I will be on the look out for good, quick salad recipes.

Glad you liked it Monica.  Yes now is the time to start thinking of salad recipes and we have quite a few from which to choose these days.

This is the silly question for the day .... by dill cucumber, do you mean the small pickled cucumbers in jars or is there a specific fresh cucumber called "dill"?

Yes they are the picked ones in jars, not the gherkins but you can use gherkins if you prefer (as I do).

I'll probably use the dill ones. One is sweet and one sour. I had never tasted the sour ones until I met DH and he hadn't had the sweet gherkins. Aussie verses European upbringing.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

could I do this a few hours before leaving out the wet stuff and then mix it through just before serving?  I thought I  might make this in the afternoon and take it up to sis in laws for Xmas eve?

cheers

Guess you could auds, or make the complete salad but leave the apple out (chop it by hand later) until the last minute as it will go brown.

This sounds so tasty! Can't wait to try it.

By the way, is there some way I can mark posts like this as 'favorites' so I can easily find them later?
